“Burials in Old St. Mary’s Cemetery, 1788-1800″ in Records of the American Catholic Historical Society, Vol. V.

CONFIRMATION RECORDS:

Some of the early baptismal registers contain an alphabetical list of those who received Confirmation that year, but these are scattered throughout the register. Usually, the alphabetical list is the only information.

SCHOOL RECORDS:

Although PAHRC has some administrative materials concerning Archdiocesan schools as well as information regarding the history of some educational institutions, PAHRC in general does not have school records. The Archives has some school records, report cards mostly, for two parochial schools: St. Peter Claver and St. Philip Neri. Please contact PAHRC staff for more information.

Researchers should contact individual parishes or schools for information. Also, if a school or academy was run by a particular religious order, researchers should contact the order’s archives for information.
